Ralph was a true gentleman and a brilliant industry thinker. One of the great guys in our "POP" world, he will surely be missed by all who knew him.

Ralph was a wonderful human being, mentoring young people and helping them find the right path in their careers. I worked with Ralph at Henschel-Steinau and found him to have a wealth of knowledge that he eagerly shared with everyone.

I am blessed to have known him.
